can this glue be used to attach ribbon to fabric without the ribbon puckering?

I did not use any ribbon but i found on the sheers that after glue dried i could lightly iron and smooth my seams. I didn't have any puckering.

What kind of ribbon? Fabric ribbon or the ribbon bought to put on gift boxes? Fabric ribbon works quite well and I haven't noticed any puckering. You just have to be careful not to put too much glue to keep the ribbon looking smooth. I usually use a Qtip to apply glue to fabric ribbon to keep the glue light and neat. Gift box ribbon I haven't used this glue on it. I used another fabric glue and this Beacon glue is better for gluing fabric pieces together. To keep fabric from puckering or showing, don't press down hard on the fabric once glue is applied. I learned this the hard way. A gentle pat on the fabric, once this Beacon Fabri-Tac is on, will make your fabric look neat and nice. What kind of ribbon? Fabric ribbon or the ribbon bought to put on gift boxes?

I don't know, but my guess is that it certainly will not help. I suppose anything (chemical or substance) that comes between the clean fabric and the heatnbond glue might disturb the bond.

It won't stick to fabrics well enough to use. But if you have a needle and thread, there is no reason you couldn't put a few stitches on each side!

I wouldn't recommend it for that. It's rather thick and stringy, I would try a spray adhesive, it would go on easily and it does have a good hold. Elmers has one, it's called craft bond.

Yes, this will work if you can get the edges to stay together while the glue sets. VLP works much like model glue works, it dissolves the edges to make a permanent, weld type bond. If the edges are not going to touch easily, I would recommend using the Anything Foam product, also by Plasti-Dip, to fill in the gap.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

This type is NOT for fabric but Aleene's does make a fabric glue that works well.

Don't really know but suggest that you check that the ribbon is working correctly and not jammed.

I have mislaid the specs sheet that came with the glue. You might be able to contact the manufacturer for this information?

I don't think that pushpins would work very well as it is made from fabric. I suppose you could use straightpins if you wanted, but the ribbons hold things in place fairly well. If you want to use pushpins, though, I would recommend purchasing a corkboard instead.

I think so. The problem some people had was with really small things like needles, pins, or beads, which would slip from one section to another and make a mess. I have used some for thread and some for ribbon.

No I would buy the actual fabric glue. This glue is to soft to hold fabrics and it would proudly wash right off if the fabric got wet.

Yes. It isn't a customary glue that is stringy or goopy. It is a liquid sort of chemical you apply with a brush applicator. Very effective and good for plastic models.

I'm not 100% sure & maybe your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer. I did just try some on a piece of plastic & it did not etch or dissolve the plastic, and it doesn't have the strong odor that something like airplane glue has, so it seems safe. I have used it to bond cloth and paper to each other and cloth to metal only, and it really works great for those. It tacks up quickly so you don't have a lot of time if you make a mistake. And it doesn't smell so you can get by without much ventilation. I reviewed the ASTM section referred to on the label, but it just applies to health hazard statements, not contents. You can wash it off with water while it's still wet; once it dries it is permanent. Hope this helps to some extent.

I have been using mine to attach bling and feathers ect. Occasionally I get ahead of the glue but its works 100 times better then the last one I had.

I think that it really depends on what kind of fabric. I love this tape but when you use it to stick fabric to fabric, sometimes it doesn't hold as well as you would like. I tried to use it temporarily for a pair of pants that needed to be rehemmed and it didn't hold as well as certain fabrics.

I am not sure but it sounds like you are holding the pressure on the crystal too long. Before I try to attach the crystals I try to experiment with a couple on a similar fabric to get the feel. One thing I really like is using the special sticky paper and make my design then I have a small mangler and heat the whole picture on which also prevents the crystal from melting. Oh by the way, if you use the sticky paper make sure you have something in between the garment or you will glue the front and back together, happened to me. Good luck.
